[Football] Do we play good football / attractive to watch ?

Man U. Chelsea was also very exciting football.
We’ve not been quite at that level since, due to form, aside from patches here and there. We played good football under Potter quite consistently last season though. So, no.. would disagree with you that it’s a “myth”.

We play great football under Potter. It's a refreshing change from the stodgy ultra-defensive borefest of previous.
That said, it does need an end-product. We've been a striker light for the last 2-3 seasons.
And not playing the ones we have got isn't really going to help.

Most pundits say we play attractive football without a cutting edge, seems fair.

15-20 minutes of the 2nd half last night was really good.
If one of our chances had gone in we would probably have got a couple more but confidence drops and they come back.
Playing good football is also down to confidence and we are gradually losing it.
1st half was very poor.

Andy Townsend summed us up, very nice to play against.

Actually does it matter? 5 wins in 2020 and 1 at home is sort of all you need to know. As pundits say it is nice on the eye but not effective enough.
It could click into place with better set piece defending and chance taking but it it ain’t half taking a long time....

I find it all a bit predictable same old shite every game, never feel we are going to score we make a few half chances but that’s about it. Personally think and I’ve thought this a lot this season we could play all night and not score unless we are lucky enough to get a pen.

Far, far better than the last dire days of the Hughton regime, I know we are in their half but lets pass it back to Lewis and he can give it to the Goalkeeper and we can start again.

Trossard did a few of those* last night....

Not a myth at all. Apart from last night's more pragmatic performance we have been very watchable this season. I've got used to us moving it from box to box with grace and skill before fluffing our lines in the 18yard box. I've enjoyed our performances this season we are a fun watch. Just a shame we have trouble hitting the proverbial cows bottom with a banjo.

It's a bit like trying to achieve orgasm while taking anti-depressants. It takes a while to get things going, once things are going it's a lot of fun to be a part of. You have to accept that you won't get there nearly as often as you'd like, but when you do it's a thing to behold, and such a relief.

Agree totally but we are still guilty of that sometimes, but then most teams do the same to keep possession.
What really annoyed me last night was when we got a throw in near the corner in the last minute of added time, we took so long to take it and have a go, the ref blew for time.
It was as if we were holding on for a point rather than going for the win.

I would debate that, as I feel we play lovely football all over the field, but not without a few mistakes and we lack a top 10 finisher. But the errors will always show in those two thirds that you mention.
The point is, we try to play football in all departments.
Practice makes perfect.
Keep the faith.

Yes we do, I always look forward to watching us. That certainly hasn't always been the case.
Tactically we're very good, set up really well and some of our build up play is excellent and a joy to watch. Potter is clearly a very clever coach. The simple fact is we haven't been clinical enough and we have had an abnormal amount of bad luck.

Personally I like to see goals (not in our net).

Stick with it... I look at Soton with regard to how things will pan out hopefully.
